Beloved Educator Riverside Principal Bill Cirullo Dies Bill Cirullo, principal of Riverside Elementary School for 30 years, died Monday after complications from a stroke. A graduate of the Princeton school system and an elementary and middle school teacher for 19 years before being appointed principal, Mr. Cirullo was “at once both deeply humble and larger than life,” stated Princeton Schools Superintendent Steve Cochrane.

Born and raised on Humbert Street, Mr. Cirullo taught sixth grade at Community Park School, which he had attended as a boy, then sixth through eighth grades at John Witherspoon Middle School, where he was also chair of the social studies department. After working for the district for a year on curriculum development and instruction in the elementary schools, he taught fourth grade at Riverside for three years before his appointment as principal 30 years ago.

“Bill understood that what he was doing was going to have an impact for decades,” stated Mimi Omiecinski, Princeton resident and parent of a Riverside graduate.

“The guy really knew how to lead. He created a sense of community. You knew kids were safe. He had a flair for humor, personality, and charisma. There was not a kid at that school that he didn’t touch in a personal way. He always brought out the best in the kids and the parents.”

His inspiration spread far. Alexis Watson, who grew up in Princeton and currently works as a special education teacher in New York City, described how Mr. Cirullo “became a teacher, mentor, and role model for me as I was starting my teaching career. Throughout my college career, Mr. Cirullo invited me into his school with open arms, which allowed me to gain hands-on experience working with students and teachers in a loving and respectful community. Mr. Cirullo’s passion for education shone through everywhere he went and in every word he spoke to students, teachers, parents and guests.

HIs creative spirit spread through the hallways and classrooms.”

Describing Mr. Cirullo as “a commanding presence in the classroom or on the lacrosse field,” Mr. Cochrane said, “He was also simple and self-effacing enough to don a cape, a cowboy hat, and a pair of goggles to delight the children of Riverside Elementary School as Captain Dismissal!”

Prosecutor Sanctions Police Handling of Perry Arrest

The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office has determined that Princeton police acted properly in the arrest of Princeton University professor Imani Perry, who was stopped last week for speeding on Mercer Street and subsequently arrested on an outstanding warrant for unpaid parking tickets and an expired driver’s license.

Ms. Perry, who is the University’s Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies, wrote on social media following the arrest that she was treated “inappropriately and disproportionately” by the officers involved in the arrest. The police department has since released a video from the officers’ dashboard camera showing much of the incident.

“This is an internal affairs investigation that has thus far consisted of reviewing all relevant video evidence, police reports, and court documents,” a statement reads.

“Based upon that review, the officer’s conduct is to be commended, not criticized.

Unless Perry comes forward with additional evidence, the case will be closed by a finding exonerating the officer.”

The statement goes on to say that a meeting was scheduled with Ms. Perry for last week, but she cancelled. “If she does not reschedule in the near future,

we will close our investigation. Although she stated that she would reschedule, we have not yet heard from her. In the meantime, the video was released.”

Ms. Perry was stopped by local police on Saturday, February 6 for driving 67 miles per hour in a 45-miles-per-hour zone. When one of the two officers in the squad car ran her license information, he discovered that Ms. Perry had unpaid Princeton parking tickets from 2012 and was driving on a suspended license.

Because of these factors, there was an

outstanding warrant for her arrest.

Following policy and state law, she was arrested, handcuffed, and taken into custody, where she remained handcuffed until she paid her fines and was released.

After Ms. Perry complained on social media about her treatment, Princeton Police Chief Nicholas Sutter turned the matter over to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office.

Ms. Perry, who is black, closed her Twitter account last week because of Continued on Page 2

Working Mothers Urge Council to Pass Ordinance Allowing Paid Sick Time Paid sick days, a concern that had been brought to Council in the past, arose again last week as a group of mothers who work in Princeton urged the Council to pass an ordinance that would guarantee the right of all private sector workers to earn paid sick time. “The Princeton Mothers for Earned Sick Days” said that allowing workers to earn paid sick time would keep local families and communities healthy, and make Princeton a fairer place to live and work.

“The issue of earned sick days is one of equity,” stated Council member Jenny Crumiller. “Everyone gets sick. The cost of employee sick days is a cost of doing business.”

The MIDJersey Chamber of Commerce, representing a number of business interests in the area, has expressed its opposition to a similar push in the State Senate in the form of proposed Senate bill 799, which would impose a mandatory Continued on Page 4

harassment and fears of hacking. She reopened it briefly this week to post another letter, which she titled “The End,” in which she said she did not suggest, in her earlier posts, that racism was involved in the incident. “I have never said that in my case that there was necessarily racial bias at work,” she wrote.

“I could not possibly know whether that was at issue.

But I do know that I belong to the racial group to which this happens more frequently than any other.”

Ms. Perr y’s letter goes on to say that she does not believe that “municipalities should generate revenue by using the police power to arrest.” Later in the post, she adds, “The fact that state legislatures and municipalities and even many citizens approve of these forms of arrest [as] acceptable does not mean they are wise.”

At a meeting of Princeton Council last week, members addressed this issue, suggesting there should be an effort to change the state law so that unpaid parking tickets do not lead to arrest.

Chief Sutter said that was “part of the conversation.”

Council member Heather Howard, who is the governing body’s liaison to the police, said this week, “We have to ask the question: Are those the right protocols and are they consistent with our values? That’s a question of state law, not local policy. So going forward, do we want to be engaged in revisiting those rules?”

Ms. Howard praised the police’s handling of the incident. “I know that our police under Chief Sutter are incredibly committed to bias-free policing and have a record of outreach to the community and transparency in their actions,” she said. “I think he’s been open about these policies and I’m looking forward to hearing from the prosecutor. I’ve heard from many people in the community who have tremendous respect for our police and appreciate under Chief Sutter’s leadership the continual outreach and respect the police have for everyone in the community.”

After the arrest last week, University President Christopher Eisgruber expressed his concerns about the incident in an open letter to The Daily Princetonian. Ms. Perry thanked him and her colleagues, students, and staff members for their support in her letter this week. “In addition, I was sustained by the supportive letters and notes of hundreds of professors at other universities as well as many activists, writers, lawyers, artists, members of my various communities, as well as friends and family,” she wrote. “I also want to thank members of the Princeton Township and broader Central New Jersey community who shared stories of similar circumstances to mine with different outcomes, as well as observations of racial disparities in policing.”

Ms. Perry, who said in her letter that she is okay with the case being closed by the prosecutor’s office, could not be reached for comment. A Princeton University spokesperson said the school had no further comment in the matter.

Important Anniversary for ing, Charleston, Pittsburgh, and even Nashville. The culCommunity Options

In 1989, when Rober t Stack sat at his home in Bordentown, he knew that so many parents of children with very serious developmental disabilities such as autism, intellectual disabilities, and cerebral palsy had no other alternatives other than going to an institution or prematurely to a nursing home. Mr. Stack left state government witnessing the largest waiting lists for people with disabilities in the history of the United States. With over half a million children and adults nationwide and over 8,000 in New Jersey alone, he knew that something had to be done and that government could not do it alone.

He called several college friends, families he had known, and solicited help from governmental officials.

He told them he was going to take a second mortgage on his house, take all of his savings and start a nonprofit organization. With a check for $362 and written bylaws and other corporate papers, he went to Trenton and filed for nonprofit status for the newly formed “Community Options.”

“It took about a year to get people to really believe me, but I went into places and took adults that no other agency at the time felt inclined to help,” Mr. Stack recalls. “People who were blind, autistic, nonverbal, many using wheelchairs, all with serious issues. The most daunting part was cash flow and literally using every dollar I had and credit cards to make payroll for the direct care staff salaries and basically to keep the lights on.”

Now, 27 years later on t h e i r a n n i v e r s a r y, t h e 60-year-old Mr. Stack manages Community Options with operations in 10 states suppor ting thousands of people with disabilities and a staff approaching 4,000.

“We have offices in Santa Fe, the Empire State Build-

tures are different, but the mission and the philosophy are the same,” he said. The crowning achievement is not only housing. The organization supports what Mr. Stack emphasizes as “meaningful lives.”

“We don’t have people in large institutions. We have hundreds of small homes housing an average of three people per home with 24-7 care, but t his still isn’t enough. People need to have meaning in what they do,” he said.

Mr. Stack and his board created entrepreneurial businesses where people make minimum wage or better.

Community Options operates a thriving gift store in Flanders; a flower store, Vaseful, in Edison, and the Daily Plan It’s shared offices with copy conference centers.

sick leave requirement on all employers. Currently on hold in the Senate, the bill, according to the Chamber of Commerce, “is particularly concerning to the business community.” The Chamber of Commerce described the bill as “another unnecessary and costly mandate on New Jersey businesses,” which could “dramatically raise costs for employers and obstruct small business growth and opportunity.”

Princeton resident Leticia Fraga, who has announced that she will be running for Council, disagreed. “No one should ever be forced to make a terrible choice between their family’s health and their job, but for over 5,000 people in Princeton getting fired is as easy as their child catching the flu.

This is a hard choice many parents have actually had to make. The Princeton Council should pass a strong earned sick time ordinance that ensures all working people can care for themselves or their family when illness strikes.”

Eleven other municipalities in the state have local paid sick time laws, including Jersey City, Newark, Passaic, East Orange, Paterson, Irvington, Bloomfield, Montclair, Trenton, Elizabeth, and New Brunswick.

“Guaranteeing the right to earn paid sick time will make Princeton a fairer place to work and a healthier place to live,” said Princeton resident Liliana Morenilla.

“When parents send their sick children to school for fear of losing the job that lets them put food on the table, it puts their classmates at risk. When parents are forced to come to work sick themselves, it jeopardizes the health of co-workers and customers. Princeton Council members should pass this common sense measure without delay.”

“It’s a matter of being humane,” added Ms. Crumiller.

“Sick workers at any pay level should not have to choose between coming to work sick and losing pay.” She went on to point out that “the ordinance will not be adding new cost to employers, rather it will be shifting the cost from

the worker to the employer where it should be.”

“I’ve heard a lot of support in the community for this ordinance,” Ms. Crumiller stated, “and I fully support it.” Fellow council member Heather Howard added her encouragement, saying, “We’ve heard about a compelling need to take care of family members when

they’re sick. It’s a question of economic justice.” Mayor Liz Lempert has stated that consideration of this ordinance is on the Council’s list of priorities for 2016, but it is not clear when it will come up for consideration. Other Council members were not available for comment.

It happ e n s aga i n a n d again. When Beverly Mills and Elaine Buck give talks that include information about slavery in New Jersey, people are shocked.

T he t wo Mercer Count y residents, who are collaborating on a book about a historic Hopewell Township cemetery where at least 10 African American Civil War veterans are buried, have

given numerous presentations throughout the area on the subject.

“We are greeted constantly with disbelief, not just from whites but from blacks, too,” said Ms. Mills. “I was at a meeting a month ago and I was talking to people about the book project. They said they had no idea. T hey thought slavery was only below the Mason/Dixon line.”

TOPICS Of the Town The records of the Stoutsburg Cemetery, which was bought from the Stout family in 1858 for the exclusive use as a burial ground

for people of color, show that slavery was indeed in practice in New Jersey.

The graveyard is on Province Line Road in Hopewell Township, bordering Montgomery.

Locally based Wild River Books is involved in the book project, which has received funding from The Bunbury Company. The authors plan for the volume to span more than three centuries of stories, contributions, and legacies of African Americans in the region since the Colonial days. While they have yet to come up with a formal title, the subtitle is “The African American Presence in Hopewell Valley and Surrounding Areas.”

families that are longtime residents of the area. Ms. Mills has lived in Pennington borough all her life, in a house her family has occupied for over a century. Ms. Buck lives in her great grandparents’ house in Hopewell borough.

“The cemetery is something that has been passed down through families for as long as I can remember,” said Ms. Mills. “It was a given that it was always where they’d be buried. My grandmother was raised in Stoutsburg and would always refer to it.”

A press release from Wild River Books quotes Ms. Mills further: “As the oldest granddaughter, I was the first to hear about what life was like on the mountain. Imagine my shock to learn that enslaved people were instrumental in building this region and contributed to their communities in every respect. They built churches and neighborhoods, served in wars dating back to the Revolution, and excelled in education, music, and the arts. We want to put faces with the stories because there are so many.”

Ms. Mills, who is retiring from her longtime job as director of the Mercer County Work force D evelopment Board, became secretary of the Stoutsburg Cemetery Association after the post was passed down from her uncle some 35 years ago. Ms. Buck, who is the church clerk for Second Calvary Baptist Church just up the street from her home, is assistant secretary for the cemetery association. Her husband,

John, is president.

The book isn’t the only project geared toward enlightening the public about this aspect of history. In partnership with the Sourland Conservancy, Ms. Buck and Ms. Mills are also involved in establishing an African American history museum in the old Mt. Zion AME Church in Skillman.

A gospel brunch fundraiser on February 27 is already at capacity. “This is an ongoing project. The brunch is sold out, but it still needs funding,” Ms. Buck said. “It will be the only museum of African American history in central Jersey.”

The book project began in 2003 when the friends heard some disturbing news. “On Rock Road headed into Lambertville, someone was going to put a driveway through a burial ground of slaves that was not properly marked,” Ms. Buck said. “We realized African American cemeteries are sporadically placed through the Hopewell Valley.

They can be in someone’s yard. We started to think about how we could help.”

Information they have read on line says the Stoutsburg Cemetery has 160 markers, but there are several that have sunk below the surface and have been located through radar. Soldiers buried in the graveyard were in the 127th Colored Infantry.

“They were in very significant battles,” Ms. Mills said.

“A few were at Appomattox.

All of them trained at Camp William Penn, the only training ground for African Americans.”

Once their research re-

vealed the cemetery’s 10 Civil War veterans, the colleagues began to find facts leading back to their own families. They started going to different lectures to find out more. One talk they attended was by Marion Lane, an African American member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, at the David Library in Bucks County, Pa. “We asked her to present at our Memorial Day service,” said Ms. Mills. “She encouraged us. She said, ‘You need to understand who the people are who are buried here.’”

Ms. Buck introduced herself to historian Henry Louis Gates (host of the PBS television show “Finding Your Roots”) when he gave a talk at Princeton Public Library a few years ago. “We’re hoping he’ll reach out to us,” she said. “We have been in touch.”

The book represents a decade of research. The authors are hoping to have it published by 2017, but there is a lot to cover. “Every time we think we’re done with our research, something else pops up,” commented Ms. Buck.

“The reason we’re writing it is so that people will realize African American history is American history,” Ms. Mills said. “It needs to go beyond the month of February [Black History Month]. Most people don’t have a clue. We need to include it. Slavery is the worst part of American history. It’s uncomfortable. But that doesn’t mean you don’t talk about it. That doesn’t mean you sanitize it. We have to put it out there.”

Spanish Accreditation Center of Princeton

Imagine this — Sophie recently graduated from college, and wants to continue studying in Granada. She took Spanish throughout high school and college, but to apply for a scholarship from a Spanish institution her level of competence must be accredited. Are her AP scores enough?

Anna Alsina Naudi, Lisi Barros-Sehringer and Carmen Santa-Cruz are certified examiners for DELE, the Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera, a test that validates competence in Spanish. Furthermore, DELE is recognized worldwide as an accurate indicator of Spanish language proficiency.

Anna, Lisi, and Carmen are also the founders of the Spanish Accreditation Center of Princeton, where they prepare students, ages 11 to 17, to excel at the DELE exam. At this moment, they are offering two levels: A1 escolar and A2/B1 escolar.

The reading, listening, and writing portions of the exam are graded at the Universidad de Salamanca, Spain.

T he four t h por tion, t he speaking, is graded in each center, at the moment of the exam. To get familiar with the format, the Spanish Accreditation Center of Princeton now offers a 10-week workshop. The workshop will guide prospective candidates through many examples of the exam with special attention paid to grammar and vocabulary.

“At a certain level, the students come to us already knowing the language,“ explains Anna.

“We determine which level exam they will take, according to certain descriptors, and ensure that they succeed in that level,” adds Carmen.

There is one question that always surfaces: what is the difference between the AP (Advance Placement) exam and the DELE? “The AP exam is only valid in U.S. colleges and universities. The DELE is an international diploma recognized all over the world,” explains Lisi.

The Spanish Accreditation Center of Princeton is housed at the Waldorf School of Princeton (1062 Cherry Hill Road, Princeton). Classes begin February 27 between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., and run for 10 weeks.

The exam will take place on May 20, 2016. For more information email spanish acp @ gmail.com or visit www.spanishacp.org.

“Around here, I like downtown Princeton, just going up and down Nassau Street. I prefer streets to cross-country trails.”

—Joel Henry, Lawrenceville

Five years ago last month New Jersey enacted the nation’s toughest law against bullying in schools, but enforcement of the law’s requirements and traditional anti-bullying efforts have brought only mixed results in reducing conflict in the school environment, according to Princeton Professor Elizabeth Levy Paluck. The solution, she proposed in a recent article based on a four-year research project, calls for the students themselves, particularly a small group of the most influential students, to take the initiative for intervention.

“By encouraging a small set of students to take a public stance against typical for ms of conf lict at their schools,” the article contends, “our intervention reduced overall levels of conflict by an estimated 30 percent.” The study, which included 56 New Jersey middle schools, was able to identify in each setting the particular students with “outsized inf luence over social norms” and to enlist “the power of peer influence for changing climates of conflict.”

“We got interested in this topic,” said Ms. Paluck, associate professor of psychology and public affairs at Pr inceton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, “because our lab at Princeton is dedicated to the study of conflict and violence and prejudice — and the reduction of these social problems. I have been interested in studying this problem in high schools since I was a graduate student. I always felt comfortable working in school settings, after growing up with a father who was a high school teacher and a mother who was a high school librarian.”

The research team, from Pr inceton, Rutgers, and Yale, wanted to test whether students they labeled as “social referents” (the most influential students) could shape their peers’ behaviors and social norms by making their anti-conflict, anti-bullying positions well known.

The social referents were not necessarily the designated student leaders nor the most popular kids, but rather the students deemed through a process of “social network mapping” to be most connected to their peers. The selected students were encouraged to promote, in their own voices, positive ways to handle conflict.

During the 2012-13 school year, the middle schools involved, according to the article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), saw the greatest drop in conflict among the teams with the highest proportion of designated influential students.

“We designed our own curriculum because current programs address problems as defined by adults,” said Ms. Paluck, “and they aren’t necessarily fitted to each individual school environment.

The best way to change social norms is to have these student influencers speak in their own voices. Encourag-

ing their own messages to bubble up from the bottom using a grassroots approach can be very powerful.”

In following up on their theory of the outsized influence of certain peers over the middle school group, Ms. Paluck and her colleagues designed their test program, called Roots, with the selected students serving as the “roots” that influence attitudes and behaviors.

They offered their program to help schools implement the state requirement that all teachers have antibullying training, and they chose to focus on middle schools, which were seeing higher rates of student conflict than high schools.

In order to select the most influential students for the Roots prog ram, t he re searchers distributed a survey to the 24,191 students enrolled at all the schools, asking them to nominate the top ten students at their school that they chose to spend time with, whether face to face or online. The researchers then mapped each school’s social network, ascertaining the top ten percent of influencers.

Com mon character ist ics among these outsized influencers included having an older sibling, being in dating relationships, and receiving compliments from peers on the house in which they lived.

These students were invited to attend Roots training sessions, where they were provided with campaign materials — one campaign using hashtags, such as #iRespect on Instagram, another using brightly colored wristbands saying “A Roots student caught you doing something great” — to encourage students to behave in a positive manner, and were trained in dealing with student conflict. The students also held a one-day Roots Festival to promote their messages of kindness and tolerance, and in all cases it was the students who “controlled the messaging.”

“Our program shows that you don’t need to use a blanket treatment to reduce bullying,” Ms. Paluck pointed out. “You can target specific people in a savvy way in order to spread the message.

These people — the social referents you should target — get noticed more by their peers. Their behavior serves as a signal to what is normal and desirable in the community. And there are many ways to figure out who those people are and work with them to inspire positive change.”

Since the article came out, Ms. Paluck and her research team have heard from many more schools that are interested in implementing the program. Many educators have written to say they are doing similar programs, based on peer leadership ideas, “and that they are glad to know that the idea has theoretical and now empirical support.”

Ms. Paluck looks ahead to further progress in developing and implementing this theory of influential peers. “In the future” she said, “we’d love to use these

Accord i ng to Mr. C o chrane, Mr. Cirullo was “a committed teacher, a talented coach, and a knowledgeable principal. Bill always put the needs of children and families first. Bill reveled in deep conversations and spontaneous laughter.

He had an innate ability to connect with and to inspire others no matter how old or young they might be.”

Ms. Omiecinski, whose family moved to Princeton ten years ago largely because of the Riverside School and its leader, explained, “When I met Bill Cirullo and the team at Riverside, it [the move] was a done deal. He was a game-changer. He knew how to take kindergarteners and make something

really special. We were really lucky.”

Commenting on the environment Mr. Cirullo fostered at Riverside, Mr. Cochrane described “a very special school culture, rich in joy, laughter and new ideas.

Bill loved being a principal and felt that one of the best parts of his job was being enriched by his staff. ‘When you work with great people — when you work with visionaries,’ he once stated, ‘it is like an endless riot of ideas and possibilities.’”

A school garden, a turtle pond, a black box theater, a diverse pre-school, and many curriculum initiatives are all part of the legacy he leaves at Riverside.

A Mercer Road Resident Is Grateful To the Police for Intercepting Speeder

To the Editor: I am not in a position to judge the merits of Professor Imani Perry’s claim that she was mistreated by the Princeton police during her arrest after being stopped for speeding at 67 miles per hour on Mercer Road. However, as a Mercer Road resident who has to navigate in and out of a driveway and occasionally crosses the road on foot, I am grateful to the police for intercepting her and hope she won’t do it again.

The “Controversy” Stems Directly From Unlawful Acts of the Aggrieved Professor

To the Editor: The subject headline in the february 10 Town Topics [“Unpaid Parking Tickets lead to Controversy,” page one] was the “take away” for many readers on the arrest of a prominent Princeton professor after being stopped for speeding on historic Mercer street at nearly 70 m.p.h. in a 45 m.p.h. zone. As increasingly typical in our “PC gone wild” media and academia, this headline was a complete mischaracterization of the incident. It further failed to address fairly and completely the specific actions during the chase, traffic stop, and police conduct as required by their protocol; and procedures in conformance with establish law and regulation. let’s get real! The whole controversy stems directly from unlawful acts of the aggrieved professor, including all the protocols for subsequent actions incident to local police mandate to enforce our laws. no traffic stop, no controversy, no issue about warrants issued by a judge for failure to pay parking fines required in such cases. ( Yes, maybe warrants are a bit over the top in these cases but are apparently issued consistently to all in similar circumstances.)

Most unfortunately, this nationally esteemed and learned professor has charged endemically racist police actions and conduct, thus claiming to be a VICTIM even to the point of stating “I do not believe I did anything wrong.” Does she suggest speeding at nearly 70 m.p.h. along historic Mercer street is “not wrong”? Anyone who watched the video and heard the very polite and business-like manner in which the officer addressed the “victim” while she sat in the car? Abusive language? Disrespect? Unreasonable requests?

As to the response by the University and the Town to this incident, many if not most Americans believe the “Rule of law” is the foundation of our constitutionally mandated rights and freedoms. They must be appalled as I am by the wide publicity accorded the Princeton professor’s allegations of racism and improper conduct by police officers here and even taking her rant nationwide. The Town Topics headline that unpaid parking tickets started this “Controversy” was especially egregious.

The immediate response to the “Controversy” by President Eisgruber parroted by Mayor lempert was “they have been shocked that such an arrest could result from unpaid parking tickets.” Again, the real causative factor related to the “Controversy” going viral was a traffic stop incident to police pursuit and stopping of a speeder with an expired license recklessly endangering safety of others on historic Mercer street. The next allegation may be that the local police when they initiated the chase knew she was a black woman with out of state tags.

In this hot and heavy political season, “pandering” seems

Attesting to the Fact That Residents Frequently Use Princeton’s Trails

just 1.2 percent. A 2007 Tucson review covering 15 cities and states all around the U.s.A. (including very high appreciation tourist oriented HDs in Galveston, san Diego, and savannah) reported premiums of only 0.5-3.0 percent.

This doesn’t mean an HD will increase wJ taxes 1-2 percent more each year. It does mean they won’t spike due to a mcmansion next door. some day, when a resident sells her house, she will benefit from this small extra appreciation.

The tax problem now, without a WJHD, is that much larger, more expensive homes are built in place of torn down smaller ones. when a large home selling for $900K$1.2M is built, it is assessed at its sale price. when the next revaluation is done, the tax assessor looks at the new large home that sold for $1M+ and attributes part of the price to the land value. He then imputes a new, higher land value to surrounding properties. This increases their total assessment although the house on them has not changed one bit.

Creation of the wJHD will help stabilize tax assessments throughout the neighborhood for current property owners. without this HD, rapid gentrification and market forces result in rapidly rising tax assessments as developers pick off individual properties and build the largest homes that current zoning permits. This would also destroy the nature of the community. let’s not become another Manhattan where only the wealthy can live near our center of commerce and culture. since the end of the 19th century, people of modest means who actually get the hard work done in our town and University — mostly African-Americans, Italians, and now latinos — have lived in this neighborhood. let’s designate a wJHD and allow them to continue living here, rather than pack them off to Trenton.

This will benefit all who live in Princeton by preserving a key part of our history, and maintaining a diverse ethnic and socio-economic population. If you care about this, about greatly slowing gentrification, and keeping housing that’s affordable, please come to the special Council meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday february 22, at 400 witherspoon street. show your support. speak a short statement. our Councilors listen.

To the Editor: I attended the Princeton Council meeting on Monday, february 8 and was surprised to hear one Council member describe Princeton’s preserved open space as underutilized and hard to get to, with under maintained trails.

As someone who walks our open space every day and the author of Walk the Trails In and Around Princeton, which has sold over 4,000 copies to date, I have a completely different perspective. I can attest to the fact that many residents use our local trails frequently. Information on trail routes and parking access is widely available, perhaps the most comprehensive online resource is www. njtrails.org. we are fortunate to have organizations like friends of Princeton open space and D&R Greenway land Trust in our town, and through the efforts of their staff and many volunteers, most of Princeton’s trails are well maintained and clearly marked. The 8.5 miles of trails in the Mountain lakes open space Area, called by some Princeton’s central park, are a wonderful example. In addition, Kurt Tazelaar, steve Hiltner, and friends of Herrontown woods have worked incredibly hard in recent years to reclaim and mark trails in Herrontown woods and Autumn Hill Reservation, along Princeton’s eastern ridge.

If you are a resident who has not yet explored the trails in Princeton, I encourage you to take a walk today. My favorite winter walk is around the lake in the Billy Johnson Mountain lakes nature Preserve. Park in the lot off Mountain Road and follow the driveway to Mountain lakes House then make the loop around the lake and back to the drive. Another great way to access this walk is to park in the lot at farmview fields, cross over The Great Road and take the boardwalk across Coventry farm to access the loop around the lake. soPHIE GloVIER To the Editor: Drakes Corner Road The County Executive of Mercer County, until now the most progressive and democratic of all the counties in new Jersey, has firmly decided to house Mercer prisoners in Hudson County jail, hours away from their families and children most of whom will not be able to take time from To the Editor: work or money necessary to maintain vital family ties.

Ceramic artist Jury Smith’s new exhibition at the Hunterdon Art Museum (HAM) titled, walking shadow: recent work by jury smith, is running until Sunday, May 8 at 7 Lower Center Street in Clinton.

“Some of the forms and patterns are rooted in personal references — old white churches in long hollows, chopped bits of wood, echoes of the past, moments of clarity and moments of beautiful darkness,” Smith said.

Smith’s ceramic sculptures invite contemplation and resonate subtly with mystery. They are deceptively simple. With multiple planes at first they appear to offer geometric tranquility, but even as they balance they disturb the viewer’s equilibrium and tease one visually, noted exhibition curators Ingrid Renard and Hildreth York.

“The monochromatic black and white forms do not per-

mit the eye to rest; a black form will announce a shape, an edge or a turn, an unanticipated variation in contrast to the white planes,” the curators noted.

The show’s title signifies the artist’s intent to shift her work toward a poetic interpretation. “The work has a strong formal foundation from which to engage the poetic eye. And there is somewhat of a severe edge to this work — a bold statement and fierceness — and the title makes clear those intentions.”

Each work has undergone traditional and demanding ceramic processes, from the use of earthenware clay and bisque firing, to the glazes and stains that become permanent with final firing.

Smith is an assistant professor of ceramics at St. Joseph’s University and studied visual arts at the University of Arizona, the Sanbao Ceramic Art Institute in Jingdezhen China, and elsewhere.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at such venues as The Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, Jingdezhen University in China, Artists Space in New York City and Blutenweiss Gallery in Germany.

She is a native of Rochester, New York.

Smith said she initially became interested in working with clay because of its soft mutability and nostalgic quality.

“Of course, as anyone with experience knows, working with this material is actually kind of brutal,” Smith said. “It is strict, demanding, and unyielding. Through the years, I’ve grown to truly appreciate clay for those qualities. It’s bossy; you have to pay attention, and I like that.”

DVD REVIEW

Love Stories on the Road Between Valentine’s Day and Oscar Night

I

fell in love with Shakespeare watching Richard Burton play Hamlet. If there was a specific moment when I “lost my heart” (you could as easily say “found my heart”), it came in the scene where Hamlet tells the players to “speak the speech” the way he pronounces it, and “to hold, as ‘twere, the mirror up to nature.”

In an essay about his youthful love of the plays, William Dean Howells recalls feeling that “in his great heart” Shakespeare “had room for a boy willing absolutely to lose himself in him, and be as one of his creations.” I was in my early 20s when Hamlet’s rousing speech to the players brought me into Shakespeare’s “great heart” and made me feel that the man who wrote the play was in the room speaking directly to his creations.

Mark Rylance Hamlet’s directorial precepts came to mind while I was watching Mark Rylance “use all gently” suiting “the action to the word, the word to the action” as the captured Russian spy, Rudolph Abel in Steven Spielberg’s Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies. If you’ve seen the film, you may remember what Abel says whenever his lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks) observes, “You never worry,” or asks “Aren’t you worried?” Rylance turns Abel’s “Would it help?” into a balanced, benign haiku of nuance at the heart of the relationship between a passively steadfast spy and an actively steadfast lawyer, the poetry of Rylance and the prose of Hanks.

Losing It When I was at W.D. Howells’s “time of life when a boy begins to be in love with the pretty faces” of the real world and “the ladies of that Shakespeare-world,” I found love in the Federico Fellini-world of La Strada. As moved as I was by the director’s atmospheric vision of roadside Italy and the revelatory performances of Richard Basehart as the clown and Anthony Quinn as the strong man, the object of my affection was Gelsomina, the doomed waif played by Giulietta Masina, whose wide-eyed wonderfully expressive face lit up the screen and my life. The English title of Nino Rota’s poignant theme song was “Stars Shine in Your Eyes,” and so it seemed when I saw Masina smile in the darkness of the theatre. I was at the emotional mercy of the Chaplinesque innocent beating the drum, blowing the trumpet, and shouting at every village, “Zampano is here!” What was actually going on probably had more to do with the medium than the touching messenger, La Strada being the film that opened my eyes and my heart to cinema. That said, the folly of my search for a real-life equivalent of Gelsomina among southern Indiana schoolgirls resulted in several unhappy relationships with small, shorthaired gaminesque females who gave me puzzled, pitying looks when I ventured anywhere near the subjects of art or life or film or Italy. It seems that Howells had a comparable experience with the “pretty faces” of the real world, since he admits

that “upon the whole” he “much preferred them in the plays, because it was so much easier to get on with them there.”

Being James Dean Before La Strada, there was a comet called James Dean. I was only one among a multitude of teenagers spun, shaken, and carried along in the blowback of his blazing passage from unknown actor in the spring to legend in the fall of the same year. When I saw East of Eden’s opening image of Dean huddled on top of a freight train on his way to Monterey to visit his prostitute/madam mother (Jo Van Fleet), I saw a romanticized version of myself.

Hey, I even had a sweater just like the tan one Dean was wearing. What I felt wasn’t love; it was fascination of a pathological intensity. All my love was for Julie Harris’s Abra, who embodied everything I dreamed of in a female in that pre-Gelsomina time:

famous writer, and my pal Jimmy walking down Broadway side by side.

The identification with Dean could be dangerous. Heading home one night from a drive-in viewing of an Eden and Rebel double-feature not long after Dean’s death, I floored my father’s red Buick Special convertible, top down, 120 miles an hour on a two-lane road, at one point swerving wildly in and out of oncoming traffic, close to a crash, as if making a morbid connection with what happened to Dean on that California highway.

If you were in high school during the Dean craze, life in the classrooms and hallways could be a bad dream of torturedteen Actor’s Studio histrionics, a plague of would-be James Deans. He was everywhere. You’d see versions of the haircut, the white t-shirt and red windbreaker from Rebel. I wore my replica of Cal’s

Harris wasn’t beautiful but she was sweet, smart, pretty, caring, and had a lovely, throaty laugh.

In that brief spring-to-fall interval and the posthumous aftermath, based on multiple viewings of East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause, James Dean became at once tortured alter ego, hero, anti-hero.

While I didn’t go as far as the fanatics who conducted seances or wrote letters to Jimmy in heaven, I did begin a novel based on his life (in that sense, he’s one reason I decided to be a writer). I also bought the fan magazines, read the quickie paperback biographies, and clipped and saved Dennis Stock’s photographs in Life (the N.Y. Times website contains a nice video reminiscence by Stock), particularly the shot of Dean on Times Square bundled in a black overcoat, bare-headed, his cigarette the only spot of white in view, the pavement gleaming with rain, giant movie billboards and marquees, and electric signs of the “Crossroads of America” looming behind him. It was as pure an image of fame as any I knew. That was my dream. Me, the

sweater incessantly, or until my parents complained. In time, the striking of James Dean attitudes descended into farce as my best friend and I cracked ourselves up performing ludicrous parodies. Certain of the insanely over-the-top scenes in East of Eden energized our relationship, and more than a half a century later, we still call each other “Aaron” from our custom of playing out the scene at the end where Dean’s Cal drags his naive “good” brother to Monterey (“You wanta see your mother, Aaron? I’ll show you your mother, Aaron!”) and more or less throws the poor guy (he’s already lost Abra to Cal) at the feet of the whorehouse madame.

Shakespeare Blushes Assuming that Hamlet’s instructions to the players concur with Shakespeare’s opinions on the subject of acting, I can imagine the Bard writhing, or at least blushing, were he to witness James Dean “tearing a passion to tatters” in East of Eden (blubbering at his father’s feet before staggering howling into the night) and screaming “to split the ears of the ground-

lings” in Rebel Without a Cause (“You’re … tearing … me … apart!”).

Of course those were the very moments that fascinated and captivated us even as they embarrassed us, and for all I know, Shakespeare might have seen a potential Hamlet or Mercutio in Dean’s willingness to throw himself into the fire of a scene.

Hamlet does add, “Be not too tame neither,” before returning to his point that “anything so overdone” is not “the purpose of playing.”

Master of Romance Some 40 years ago watching the Late Late Show on an 11-inch Sony TV, I discovered the films of Frank Borzage, the director who above all others holds his players to the Shakespearean standard: “to use all gently,” and “in the whirlwind of passion” to “acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness,” and above all, “to never o’erstep the modesty of nature.” The beauty of Borzage is that he kept faith with nature, held the mirror steady in a genre — the romance, the love story — that tempts even the most accomplished directors into areas of excess such as to “make the judicious grieve” and think that “some of nature’s journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.”

Having already devoted a number of columns to Borzage classics like Moonrise (1948) and 7th Heaven (1927), winner of the first Academy Award for direction, and Man’s Castle (1933), one of the best American films of the 30s (or any other era), still shamefully unavailable on DVD, I’ll mention only the Late Late Show moment (it was 3 a.m.) when I saw an actress I’d never seen before. Or so it seemed until I realized that the woman on the screen was Joan Crawford, who, even at her characteristic best, always struck me as off-puttingly shrill and artificial.

In Borzage’s otherworldly yet luminously earthly Strange Cargo (1940), Crawford would have made Shakespeare proud, as would her co-star Clark Gable. In the mirror Borzage was holding up to nature, both players transcended themselves. ith Hollywood’s big night looming, for better or worse, it feels right to end a column about love and film with a director who was born on Shakespeare’s birthdate, April 23, and ran off at the age of 13 to join an acting troupe performing Shakespeare in saloons before finding his way to Hollywood, where he would make more than 100 films between 1912 and his death in 1962.

—Stuart Mitchner Note : W.D. Howells’s essay can be found in the Library of America’s anthology, Shakespeare in America. This year marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. Both James Dean and Giulietta Masina were born this month (February 8 and 22, respectively). An Oscar nominee for his supporting role in Bridge of Spies, Mark Rylance just won Best Supporting Actor in the British Academy (BAFTA) awards.

Where to Invade Next

Michael Moore’s Faux Invasions in Tongue-in-Cheek Mockumentary

O

scar-winner Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine) has been challenging the power structure ever since releasing Roger & Me in 1989. That groundbreaking exposé indicted General Motors for the outsourcing of jobs which led to the devastation of his hometown of Flint, Michigan. Over the intervening years, Moore has tackled a variety of controversial topics including the Iraq War (Fahrenheit 9/11), the healthcare industry (Sicko), and the global financial crisis (Capitalism: A Love Story), to name a few.

With Where to Invade Next, he sets his sights on the subject of American imperialism. You may remember that the Bush Doctrine, announced by President George W. Bush in 2002, asserted the United States’ right to wage preemptive war whenever it was deemed in the national interest. Relying on that doctrine, Moore circumnavigates the globe visiting countries with cultural and social features that are worth emulating.

However, instead of conquest with intent to plunder, the

object is to borrow ideas from the ‘invaded’ countries that might improve our quality of life. For example in France, he asks public school cafeteria chefs how they manage to serve their students such fine cuisine as compared to the fare American children are forced to settle for. And his mission in Finland is to discern why its educational system is far superior to ours, while in Italy he describes the generous employment benefits, not only for maternity leave, but for honeymoons as well.

This faux invasion mockumentary features Moore in virtually every tableau. Fortunately, his tongue-in-cheek brand of humor is frequently sublime, and his earnest arguments are often persuasive, even if the format feels a little stale.

Very Good (HHH). Rated R for profanity, drug use, violent images, and brief nudity. In English, Italian, French, German, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Arabic with subtitles. Running time: 110 minutes. Distributor: Dog Eat Dog Films.

For the first two days of pre s e as on prac t ice t h is year, the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team put away their sticks and balls.

Instead, the Tigers spent their first session doing running drills as part of “The Program,” which is designed to build teamwork, leadership, and accountability, and is run by no-nonsense combat veteran Sam Cila.

On the second day of practice, the Tigers convened at the Dillon Gym pool at 4:40 a.m. for some challenging swimming exercises.

P r i nce ton h e ad coach Chris Bates believes that the trial by fire will help steel his team for the challenges ahead.

“We thought it would be a little bit of a challenge obviously and any season is filled with adversity,” said Bates, whose team went 9-6 overall last year, tying for the Ivy League title but losing 11-10 to Yale in the league tournament final and failing to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

“To put our guys in a situation where that adversity is shared by all early, I just think is a healthy exercise.

I really believe that our guys learned a lot about themselves and the challenge going forward is to not lose sight of some of that learning and have that be a foundation that we can refer back to and continue to build on.”

Before the season even starts, the Tigers are facing adversity with the graduation of record breaking offensive stars, attackman Mike MacDonald (78 points on 48 goals and 30 assists in 2015) and midfielder Kip Orban ( 52 points on 45

goals and seven assists).

“There will be some transition with two bona fide stars in Mike and Kip graduating,” said Bates.

“Those two are just as good as it gets so we will not be relying on that star power.”

Princeton will be looking to senior attackman Ryan Ambler, its leading returning scorer after tallying 51 points last season on 22 goals and 29 assists, to pick up some of that slack.

“Ryan is as good a quarterback of an offense in terms of his understanding as I have been around and that is high praise,” said Bates, whose team opens its 2016 campaign when it hosts NJIT on February 20.

“Ryan is as competitive as anybody but also as a leader on that end of the field. He has got a presence and all eyes go to him. He can net out in the same spot with his points but his value is not purely derived from how many points he puts on the board. He makes everybody better; he is a facilitator on the offensive end.”

Ju n ior G av in McBr ide (24 goals and 13 assists in 2015) and sophomore Riley Thompson (2 goals, 4 assists) will be playing with Ambler on the team’s top attack line.

“Right now it is Gavin and Riley Thompson with Ryan, those guys have a nice unit and are playing well together,” said Bates.

“The nice part is about how we play offense and specifically with those guys as well. We can bump guys around. All three of them can come from the box.”

Bates believes that he has

PASSING FANCY: Princeton University men’s lacrosse player Ryan Ambler prepared to unload the ball in a game last season. Senior star attacker Amber, the team’s leading returning scorer after tallying 51 points last season on 22 goals and 29 assists, will be counted on to trigger the Princeton offense this spring. The Tigers open their 2016 campaign when they host NJIT on February 20.

a number of guys who can contribute offensively.

“There are no superstars at the end of the field; we are priding ourselves on sharing the ball and not caring so much about who puts it in the back of the net or who even assists but being a really great unit,” said Bates, noting that freshmen Carter Flaig, Emmet Corduroy, and Dawson McKenzie, along with junior Sean Connors (10 goals, 6 assists) and junior Adam Hardej (6 goals, 1 assist) will also see time on offense.

“I think we are going to get a lot of production out of a lot of different guys, that will be critical for our success.

We are going to try to be unpredictable there and create some matchups. We are very much a work in progress but we like what we see in how the ball is moving and how the whole unit is operating together.”

The Tigers do boast a budding superstar in the midfield with junior Zach Currier (11 goals, 24 assists), a preseason second-team All-American.

“There are a lot more eyes on him and we are trying to simplify his half-field approach,” said Bates.

“His nature is so much of a playmaker. He always just wants to make a great play and we are trying to dial him back a little bit to help him understand how to fit more in a unit with five other guys and maybe instead of the first part of the possession at the end of a possession, making a great play at the end.”

Senior Bobby Weaver and sophomore Aust in Sims (2 assists) will assume key roles in the Princeton midfield unit.

“The guys that will play both ways are Bobby Weaver and Austin Sims,” said Bates.

“We are very comfortable playing them both offensively and defensively, Bobby and Austin were shortstick d-middies last year but they are two of our better offensive threats as well.

Battled-tested senior Austin deButts (26 groundballs in 2015) will spearhead the defensive midfield.

“Austin deBut ts is our prime shortstick middie,” said Bates. “He, along with Zach, Bobby, and Austin will get the lion’s share of d-mid time and then two freshmen, Mike Morean and Strib Walker. We are very pleased with their development, they are guys who can play and they will play early.”

As for the face-off spot

Bates believes sophomore Sam Bonafede (109-for-232 face-offs in 2015) can have a big year.

“Sam is our primary guy and you hope that he gained some experience and takes next steps,” said Bates.

“Waiting in the wings are Jack O’Brien, who has had a really good year to date.

Zach (55-for-123 face-offs) is always an option there.

We prefer not to use Zach on a lot of reps because he does so much elsewhere but if called upon and you need him, he is ready.”

On defense, the Tigers return some players who have seen a lot of reps in the career in junior Bear Goldstein, junior Mark Strabo, junior Alistair Berven, sophomore Will Reynolds, and junior Sam Gravitte.

“If we stay healthy we feel like we are growing up on that end of the field,” said Bates.

“We have two cornerstones at close which will be Mark and Bear with Bear being a captain and an all-Ivy guy.

We have good experience with Alistair Bergen and Sam Gravitte, who can play both close and up top. Will looks great, he is a prime time kind of kid and he has

a really good head for the game. He is very skilled but also thinks the game very well.”

I n g o a l, P r i n c e to n i s looking at sophomore Tyler Blaisdell (10.44 goals against average in 10 appearances in 2015) and senior Matt O’Connor, who saw just 7:54 of action last season.

“The final decision hasn’t been made, both have played well so we are letting that play out here for the rest of the preseason,” said Bates.

“Tyler has steadily improved throughout this year and Matt is really playing as well because he has really worked hard, he is dialed in. We feel comfortable with both. We hope not to juggle, we hope to pick one and go with it.”

In order to be successful this spring, Princeton needs to be dialed in at face-off and in goal.

“I think we need to be steady at face-offs and in the cage; you need to be strong up the middle,” said Bates.

“You need the ball and you need to save the ball. Those guys need to be solid there, not to say that we need AllAmericans, we just need solid consistent play.”

Bates is also looking for some solid play around the goal. “Offensively, we need to play within ourselves and find ourselves,” said Bates.

“On any given day, different guys are going to step up. I think if we can embrace that and really share the ball, manage the game, and be smart and opportunistic, we can be better than folks might expect.”

While Princeton will be looking to pick up as many wins as possible before it gets into Ivy play, Bates is emphasizing getting better over the long haul.

“We have a healthy respect for our opponents but we have to focus on our unit development,” said Bates.

“There are some early tests. NJIT is developing, Hofstra is always tough, and then we are thrown to the wolves with Hopkins and Maryland. I think that is good. It is going to take us some time to figure ourselves out and hopefully we can focus on our fundamentals and be successful. We also have the long view in mind and that has got to be key for us. It is a marathon, we can’t worry about the sprint.”

After Losing Major Star Power to Graduation, PU Men’s Lax Focused on Basics as It Starts 2016

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, fEbRuARY 17, 2016 • 32

PU Women’s Hockey Edges St. Lawrence in OT, Showing Resilience as It Honors Former Star Laing Fans all over Baker Rink were supporting “14 Strong” orange and black beanies last Saturday as the Princeton University women’s hockey team held Denna Laing Day to honor and raise funds for its former captain who suffered a spinal injury in the Winter Classic.

Laing’s resilience, persistence, and upbeat attitude has inspired the hockey world. A message from Laing ’14, who is currently paralyzed below her waist, was broadcast at the rink before the game as she thanked everyone for their support and ended her talk with “Go Tigers.”

Princeton junior defenseman Molly Strabley, a close friend of Laing’s, said the words from the former team captain inspired the Tigers.

“I think it motivated us a lot, she is a great girl,” said Strabley. “She is fighting this with a huge smile on her face and a ton of resilience.”

Coming off a tough 2-1 loss to No. 5 Clarkson, the eighth-ranked Tigers had to show resilience as they

fell behind St. Lawrence 1-0 after the first period, getting outshot 18-7 in the process.

“I think losing yesterday never bodes well right off the bat but after that we came back strong and turned it around,” said Strabley.

During the first intermission, the Tigers talked about playing their game and they responded with two goals in the first 4:42 of the second period.

“It was just get back to the basics and do what we do well,” said Strabley.

“We were moving the puck well and I thought we got the momentum back and from there I thought we took it to them for most of the second and carried into the third for the most part.”

St. Lawrence scored last in the second period to knot the game at 2-2. Strabley broke the tie when she hit a shot from the point that ricocheted into the net.

“It wasn’t the best shot,” said Strabley with a laugh.

“Right when it came off my stick I was oh shoot but it bounced and hit someone in

the head and it went in so it worked out.”

The Saints battled back to make it 3-3 and the teams headed into overtime. In one final show of resilience, Princeton prevailed in the extra session as junior star Kelsey Koelzer scored 25 seconds into overtime.

“It was positive, we wanted to get the two points,” said Strabley “It is huge for playoffs and home ice. It was not do or die but we were trying to win and not tie.”

The win, which improved Princeton to 20-6-1 overall and 13-6-1 ECAC Hockey, reflected its never say die attitude this winter.

“I think we definitely are resilient and our core word is relentless,” said Strabley, a 5’5 native of Yarmouth, Maine.

“I would say that is a great embodiment of our team.

We take that to heart and we really follow through on that.”

The team’s heartfelt communications with Laing have given it extra motivation.

“She has been giving us good messages,” said Strab-

ley, noting that the team and Laing have been connecting through FaceTime conversations.

“It is good to have the support from her, we have her back and she has our back.

I have been talking to her a lot, we are really close. I played for her dad at Assabet Valley (club program) so I know her pretty well.”

Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal acknowledged that Denna Day triggered some deep emotions.

“It was a little draining, the announcement gave me chills so I am sure that affected a lot of the kids,” said Kampersal. “They didn’t have a good first period but after that they got better.”

Kampersal lit a fire under the players in the first intermission and liked the way they heeded his words.

“I gave it to them a little bit between periods and they came out on fire in the second period in the first five minutes,” said Kampersal.

“They couldn’t keep that intensity the whole time but they hung in there and didn’t get rattled when St. Lawrence tied it 3-3. They kept on going and Kelsey came through which was nice.”

Kampersal credited Strabley with hanging in there, playing through pain.

“Molly is battling through injuries, it was even debatable whether she was going to play tonight or not,” said Kampersal. “That was a big goal for her.”

The team’s battling spirit this winter has impressed Kampersal. “They are relentless, they really are,” said Kampersal. “That is the motto that they chose this

year and they have stuck with it so even if we are up two or down two, they still play hard.”

With Princeton hosting Rensselaer on February 19 and Union on February 20, currently tied for third in the ECACH standings with the first four teams getting home ice in the upcoming playoffs, Kampersal is looking for his players to be even more relentless at the offensive end.

“They still need to shoot t h e p u c k m or e,” s a i d

Kampersal. “There are plenty of times when we could shoot it and they decide to pass off so it is something that we will work on this week.”

Strabley, for her part, is primed for a big weekend.

DOING IT FOR DENNA: Princeton University women’s hockey player Molly Strabley flies up the ice in action this weekend.

Last Saturday, junior defenseman Strabley scored a third-period goal to help Princeton defeat St. Lawrence 4-3 in overtime. The Tigers bought special inspiration to the game as the program held Denna Laing Day to honor and raise funds for its former captain, who suffered a spinal injury in the Winter Classic. The Tigers, now 20-6-1 overall and 13-6-1 ECAC Hockey, wrap up regular season play this weekend by hosting Rensselaer on February 19 and Union on February 20.

After the Princeton University women’s basketball team got off to a lackluster start in a 71-51 win over Cornell on Friday, the Tigers were determined to seize early momentum against Columbia a night later.

“I would say we came out a little soft, we weren’t pushing,” said Princeton senior forward and tri-captain Taylor Williams.

“It is something the seniors took upon themselves with the four other seniors and Vanessa Smith. We really expressed getting off from the jump and pushing hard. We are one of the fastest teams and one of the best scoring teams and until we take advantage not only of our athleticism but our depth we have on the bench we are not going to

TAYLOR MADE: Princeton University women’s basketball player Taylor Williams drives past a foe in a game earlier this season.

Last Saturday, senior forward and tri-captain Williams chipped in six points, three rebounds, and two blocks in 10 minutes off the bench to help Princeton defeat Columbia 86-54. The Tigers, now 17-4 overall and 6-1 Ivy League, play at Yale (1114 overall, 2-6 Ivy) on February 19 and at Brown (13-9 overall, 1-7 Ivy) on February 20.

get these big leads. In the huddle tonight before the game that’s something that we really focused on.”

As the first reserve off the bench, Williams gave the Tigers an immediate spark, knocking in two quick buckets as the Tigers went ahead 14-5.

“It is easy to follow when the first five start strong, the bench finds it easy to follow them,” said Williams, a 6’3 native of Warren, Ohio.

“It is just fulfilling my role. It is something I have grown into from finally playing sophomore year up until senior year. It is bringing things I can contribute every day, that is energy, that is enthusiasm, that is to bring up other teammates, whether we are down by five or up by 20. It is something I can be consistent on.”

Leading 38-24 going into the second half, the Tigers showed plenty of energy after the break as they outscored the Lions 30-13 in the third quarter on the way to an 86-54 rout before 1,682 at Jadwin Gym. The win, the 23rd straight home triumph for Princeton, improved the Tigers to 17-4 overall and 6-1 Ivy League.

“You can really tell the enthusiasm we have when we come into games and it is playing for each other, realizing that it is our Saturday game, the last game of the weekend,” said Williams, who ended up with six points, three rebounds, and two blocks in 10 minutes off the bench.

“Something we emphasize during practice is getting a sweep, getting both wins.”

With Columbia coming into the game as the secondhighest scoring team in the Ivies, Princeton emphasized defense.

“I really think something that is so motivational for us is keeping the energy, even if it is not a very fluid offense that we are guarding,” said Williams, who helped Princeton hold Columbia to 30 percent shooting (15-for50) for the evening.

“If we keep the communication up on the bench and the floor, that gets both our defense and offense going.

You see with our defense when Wheats (Alex Wheatley) gets a big block and can run the floor and that no one can stop it and it gets our energy going.”

Williams saw the home sweep as a big plus for Princeton as it looks to keep pace with Penn (18-3 overall, 7-0 Ivy) in the league title race.

“Especially with our loss at Penn, every weekend is a chance to move forward and get better,” said Williams.

“Our league has taken a lot of steps from our freshman year. It is a brand new league since then. Every single team has gotten better, you go into every game knowing they can take you down.”

S er v i ng as te a m c ap tain along with classmates Wheatley and Annie Tarakchian has given Williams the chance to give more to the team in terms of leadership.

“It is an honor to me and stepping into a role and doing anything I can do for the team, whether it is bringing energy on the bench or en-

ergy on the floor,” said Williams.

“I would like to say I am the leader on the bench. I am the only senior who is on the bench so if I can keep them going, I will.”

P r i nce ton h e ad coach Courtney Banghart loves what Williams brings to the team.

“Taylor is all things right, all she wants to do is win,” said Banghar t. “A ll she wants to do is understand anything she can do to help us do that and she is going to do it. She has always been leading with her voice and always leading with her heart but now she is also leading with her play. She is very efficient. She is a kid that wants to contribute to winning and she does. It is really great to see.”

Banghart enjoyed seeing her reserves come up big in the win against Columbia, as Kenya Holland scored 10 points with Taylor Brown and Qalea Ismail adding six points apiece.

“It just shows that our bench is so deep, we have gotten better there,” asserted Banghart.

“We have worked hard at that. It gives us different looks and different opportunities and different skill sets so it was a total team win. I think we got 38 points from the bench tonight.”

In Banghart’s view, her team is getting sharper as the season goes on. “It is getting better, especially in spurts,” said Banghart.

“I have such high standards that I do have to step back and realize how much they are doing. They have had such a great year and

As Princeton plays at Yale (11-14 overall, 2-6 Ivy) on February 19 and at Brown (13-9 overall, 1-7 Ivy) on February 20, Banghart will be looking for more progress.

“What I will do is watch these two games and then I will prepare the week based on these two games and what our next steps are,” said Banghart.

“We don’t worry as much about the opponents, we worry about ourselves. There are ways we can improve in the quarter court and the full court. I think we are better defensively than we were a week ago so I think that is a good thing.”

Williams and her classmates are looking to make the most of their final weeks with the program.

“We have so many memories and jokes from being in the dining hall as freshmen, especially with the class from last year,” said Williams.

It is the five of us being together and when we look and realize we are halfway through the Ivies now and we only have three or four weeks left, it is bittersweet.

Coming in we knew we were replacing Niveen Rasheed and Lauren Polansky and that crew and all of a sudden we are seniors and having six freshmen below us who are our replacements next year. It is such a crazy feeling.”

Nathan Drezner brought a special sense of urgency to the ice as the Princeton High boys’ hockey team faced Hopewell Valley last Wednesday in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals.

“This could have been my last game at Mercer County Park and I was not ready for that,” said Drezner, a senior forward and assistant captain for PHS. Drezner went out on the MCP ice and made sure that it wasn’t his last game there, contributing an assist as the sixth-seeded Little Tigers pulled out a 3-2 overtime thriller against the sixthseeded Bulldogs.

Hav ing rallied to beat HoVal 2-1 in the regular season finale a week earlier after previously dropping a 4-3 decision to the Bulldogs, gave PHS confidence heading into the MCT rematch.

“We have had two close games with them the past couple weeks,” said Drezner.

“It was a really close game two weeks ago; they scored one late in the game. Knowing that we had beaten them before and that we could come back and get a win, was definitely a confidence boost. Everyone in the locker room was ready to win.”

The Little Tigers jumped out to a 1-0 lead as Anthony

Trainor scored with 5:54 remaining in the first period.

“There were a lot of rebounds going on, it was matter of finishing that,” said Drezner.

“It just helps so much having that lead and moving on from there.”

HoVal knotted the game at 1-1 with a second period goal and then PHS regained the lead as Drezner assisted on a goal by junior star Brendon McCormick. The Little Tigers were less than a minute from victory in regulation when HoVal scored with 47 seconds left, utilizing an extra attacker.

The Little Tigers maintained their composure despite the shock of the lastminute goal.

“They pulled their goalie and they got one late on us,” said Drezner. “Everyone got off the ice as soon as they scored that late goal, and we were on the bench saying that wasn’t the end of the game for us. We were just trying to come out; no one wanted to lose this game at all.”

PHS pulled out the victory as McCormick found the back of the net with 4:15 left in overtime as the Little Tigers improved to 12-6-4 and earned a shot at secondseeded Notre Dame in the MCT semis on February 16 with the winner advancing

STICKING WITH IT: Princeton High boys’ hockey player Nathan Drezner controls the puck in recent action. Last Wednesday, senior forward and assistant captain Drezner chipped in an assist as sixth-seeded PHS edged third-seeded Hopewell Valley 3-2 in overtime in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals.

The Little Tigers, who improved to 12-6-4 with the win, were slated to face second-seeded Notre Dame in the MCT semis on February 16 with the winner advancing to the final on February 19 against the victor of the semifinal between top-seeded Hun and fourth-seeded Robbinsville.

to the final on February 19 against the victor of the semifinal between top-seeded Hun and fourth-seeded Robbinsville.

Drezner was not surprised that McCormick came up big in the clutch in the extra session.

“We have got Brendon out there, he is a such a good skater,” said Drezner. “I play up with him. He will skate it and you just have to crash the net and get on that puck and just keep on pressing.”

For Drezner, serving as assistant captain along with junior defenseman Tooker Callaway and captain McCormick has been a good experience.

“We get the team pumped up,” said Drezner. “Cheering in the locker room, cheering before every single timeout, and before every single intermission, it is getting the team’s energy and vibe up.”

PHS head coach Terence Miller was proud of the energy his team displayed as it overcame the late HoVal tally.

“I thought it showed a lot of character, a lot of spine and heart for us to be able to take that punch and come back and be able to win it,” said Miller.

“We have been playing well, so we really didn’t say to change much. It was keep doing what you are doing, keep getting deep and keep grinding them. We knew if we stuck to our guns, we would put ourselves in the best spot. We really didn’t want to change much. We kept playing downhill and kept chipping away.”

Having McCormick gives the Little Tigers a consistent scoring punch. “Brendon is really our engine, he is unbelievable,” said Miller of McCormick, who recently passed the 100-point mark in his PHS career.

“He just quietly goes about his business, night in, night out. He just brings so much, he plays in all three zones.

He plays all special teams.

He is just a real leader, a leader by example. He is a great, great kid. I am lucky to have him.”

Miller credited Drezner with taking care of business in the win over HoVal. “Nathan had a great game; I thought he was probably the best player of the game tonight for us,” said Miller.

In Miller’s view, his squad is playing its best hockey of the season. “I feel like we are playing better hockey; we are starting to jell and our lines are star ting to click,” said Miller.

“I think we have the right combinations there, especially in the back end, Tooker, Eamonn (McDonald), and Max (Garlock) with Sawyer (Peck) in goal are a little more stable. They are a little more poised, we are not running around in our zone as much. They are playing with more confidence and that just shoots right up to our forwards. It just helps us out. They are giving us a lot more stability back there, which is big.”

Drezner, for his part, believes that postseason pressure has brought out the best in PHS. “This is tournament hockey,” said Drezner. “Everyone has to be playing their heart out and putting everything on the line.”

Sparked by Senior Guard Ryan’s Production, PHS Girls’ Basketball Defeats WW/P-S I n m id - D e cemb er, t he Princeton High girls’ basketball team opened the season with a 48-31 loss at WW/P-S. But when the rivals met last Friday for round two, Julia Ryan and her PHS teammates were confident of a different result, having won two of three games coming into the contest.

“We are an entirely different team from the beginning of the season,” said senior star guard Ryan.

“W hen we first played South, we weren’t ready. We were still a little rusty with only a few practices. We have grown a lot. We have gotten some wins under our belts.

In the early stages last Friday, PHS looked a little rusty as it trailed 6-4 after the first quarter. But showing its growth, the Little Tigers outscored the Pirates 17-6 in the second to build a 21-12 lead at halftime and never looked back on the way to a 38-29 win.

“It is the tough defense that turns into good offense, it ends up rewarding itself all over,” said Ryan, who scored a team-high 10 points in the win.

“We have been getting better at putting together runs like that, In our last game (a 47-32 win over Hightstown on February 10) we had a 21-point quarter. Now we have a 17-point quarter.

That is exactly what we need and that is how we win these games.”

PHS closed the deal by being smart with the ball, running plays and not rushing things.

“We have gotten better at that too, it is something that we struggled with,” added Ryan.

“Now we are learning that the clock is our friend when we are up that much and to just be calm. One of the things that we struggle with is patience. We get frantic and take rushed shots. Over the season, the maturity has gotten so much higher.”

Ryan showed patience in the win as she got her 10 points in the flow of the offense, dealing with extra defensive attention from the Pirates.

“The box and one is tough to get shots off because the Rivers twin is really great on ball defender,” said Ryan, explaining WW/P-S’s defensive approach.

“Once the team starts to realize and set screens and off ball movement starts to get open, you can really find jump shots that way.”

In Ryan’s v iew, PHS’s 44-43 win over Trenton on February 2 gave the team a lift. “I can’t even remember the last time we have beaten Trenton; we asked our AD (John Miranda) and he doesn’t know either,” said Ryan.

“It was a huge win for us, a morale booster. It let us know that we can pull out games like that against better teams.”

For Ryan, who has committed to attend Temple University and play for its women’s lacrosse team, heading down the stretch of her final season on the court is bittersweet.

“It is a little sad because

I originally did want to play basketball in college and that ended up not working out so I switched to lacrosse,” said Ryan.

“It is really sad that this is my last high school season.

I know my dad and I love basketball; it is something we bond over and this is it because I am the last kid that plays. It is sad for him and sad for me too.”

PHS head coach Dan Van Hise loved the way his team took care of business on the defensive end in the win over the Pirates.

“We worked a lot on that yesterday, we knew what they ran,” said Van Hise.

“It is a lot of Rivers twins (Alyssa and Alyssen) dribble handoff and try to get to the rim. We worked on that a lot yesterday and I think just paying attention to it is sometimes enough. They knew what to expect so that kind of settled them down a little bit. They knew nothing was going to come as a surprise.”

The Little Tigers worked well together on offense as seven players scored with senior guard Crystal Wang chipping in eight points, Jamaica Ponder contributing six and Taylor Stone adding five.

“I told them it was the most complete effor t we have had all year,” said Van Hise.

“We lost Zoe Tesone halfway through the third quarter and Adria Backus didn’t play because she has a knee problem so we played seven girls the whole game.”

The balanced scoring reflected a growing maturity for PHS. “The biggest thing that I have seen is that earlier in the year, we were playing as a team but it was really only a couple of passes and shoot and if that went in great,” said Van Hise.

“There is more patience, they have matured as a team. You can tell that they have been playing together for a while. I can name three or four plays that would have never happened a month ago. We have been doing drive and kick stuff for weeks because they are so used to driving and shooting but we are getting open shots now and we are finding out that we can score a little bit if some of the shots we take are wide open.”

In Van Hise’s view, Ryan excelled in both hitting shots and setting up things for her teammates.

“They went box and one on her early so she always has to deal with that,” said Van Hise.

“There have been box and ones that have taken her out but she stayed in it and let the game come to her.

She got a few free throws in there and she did a great job on press break too, facilitating that.”

The team’s late surge, which has seen it win three of its last five games in moving to 6-13, is testament to the perseverance of the players.

“I really think it is the togetherness they have been able to develop,” asserted Van Hise, whose team starts play in the Mercer County Tournament this week with 16th-seeded PHS, and is slated to play 17th-seeded Hightstow n in a play-in game with the victor heading to top-seeded Ewing on February 18 in a first-round contest.

“We went through rough stretches. We knew that this was coming at the end of the year, the opponents that we had. It was just whether or not we cared enough to cash in here at the end and that says a lot about all of them, that they want to do this for the team. They want to get to seven or eight wins.”

T he improvement d is played by senior guard Wang has epitomized the team’s approach.

“Crystal has come so far and she has been so confident the past few games,” said Van Hise.

“It is literally to the point where if she gets set I think it is going in and that’s a big deal. If there is anybody that is a microcosm of what we are doing here at the end, it is her. She has been awesome.”

Ryan, for her part, is confident of the team’s prospects in the short and long term.

“We have a play-in game against Hightstown, who we just beat last week so I think we are really ready for that,” said Ryan.

“It is the last season for the three seniors, it is really awesome. The underclassmen are definitely going to be able to step up next year so I have confidence in them.”

While many of the top players for the Hun School boys’ hockey team were rested as the Raiders played overmatched Paul VI in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals last Wednesday, Patrick Brake wasn’t about to take the night off.

“I was told two weeks ago that I had mono and that I was out for the season, but I got over it in six days,” said senior forward and assistant captain Brake.

“I feel fine now, I really lucked out. I only missed one game. I am just really happy to be here, this feels like borrowed time almost.”

Brake was all over the ice at the Mercer County Park rink, tallying a goal and two assists as top-seeded and two-time defending county champion Hun cruised to an 8-0 win over Paul VI. “It w as a f u n ga m e,” said Brake, whose younger brother, junior back-up goalie Thomas, got the start between the pipes and made 15 saves in earning the shutout.

“It was tough missing some of the big kids on our team but it is nice to play.”

Getting a nice feed from sophomore Kyle DePalma, Brake notched a goal early in the second period.

“It was a really good play

by DePalma; I just had to finish it,” said Brake. “He played really really well.”

Hun is looking to finish the deal as it goes for its third straight county crown. The Raiders are slated to face fourth-seeded Robbinsville in the semis on February 16 with the winner advancing to the title game on February 19 against victor of the semi between second-seeded Notre Dame and sixthseeded Princeton High.

“That is what we are looking forward to,” said Brake, referring to Hun’s bid for another country crown.

“Today was just taking

care of business and to just keep building up towards the championship.”

While Hun has struggled at times this winter, Brake believes the Raiders can end things on a high note.

“There have been a lot of ups and downs, we have been searching for consistency all year,” said Brake.

“We have had some great games and some bad games.

We are trying to win out and boost up our record a little bit.”

Looking to make the most out of his senior year, Brake has boosted his game.

“I have worked on my strength and speed, my vision has gotten a lot better,” said Brake.

lot. I used to have more goals than assists. It is just experience too.”

The experience of playing on the same line at times with junior star Blake Brown has helped Brake’s stats.

“When I play with Blake Brown, it really helps my game,” added Brake. “I think 13 of my assists were to him.

He has definitely helped me out a lot.”

Reflecting on his Hun career, Brake has definitely enjoyed emerging as a leader for the program.

“It has been a great four years, I love playing for this team,” said Brake. “It is an honor to be a captain; I just try to motivate the guys and work hard.”

MFG., CO.

Three years ago, gritty forward B. J. Dudeck took care of the dirty work on the court as the Princeton Day School boys’ basketball team advanced to the state Prep B finals.

T h is w i nter, D u de ck ’s younger cousin, junior guard Paul Franzoni, is following in his footsteps for the PDS squad.

“I am going out there and trying to battle and do my job,” said Franzoni. “I score when I have to, box out, get rebounds and just hustle, like my cousin B.J.” Like his cousin before him, Franzoni is now headed to a state Prep B title game as he contributed plenty of hustle and six points last Sunday as top-seeded PDS pulled away to a 63-44 win over fourthseeded Wardlaw-Hartridge in the semifinals.

Although PDS jumped out to an early 17-7 lead, it had to battle to hold off an upsetminded Wardlaw team who drew to within two points at 26-24 in the second quarter and trailed 44-41 late in the third.

“There was a bit of a lull coming into t he second quarter; the message at halftime was to get back to our game and do what we do,” said Franzoni.

“It took us a couple of minutes but we worked back to it. Once we are playing on, we are on. Once in a while we will hit a lull but we just have to play like ourselves.”

Getting back to the Prep B final is special for Franzoni and his teammates as they look forward to hosting third-seeded MorristownBeard in the title contest on February 17.

“It is a big deal, we haven’t won one since 1999,” noted Franzoni. “We are looking to get another one this year and make some history.”

In reflecting on the squad’s improvement as it is now 14-7 after going 5-17 last winter, Franzoni believes an infusion of new blood made a big difference.

“The guys who have come in, John McArthur, David Coit, and Craig Wrenn, have done a great job, it has been a huge culture switch,” said Franzoni.

“It helped having Amir Melvin coming back and Chase Lewis is an awesome player. The chemistry has been great this year.”

In Franzoni’s view, new head coach Tim Williams has given the team a lift in succeeding Paris McLean.

“Coach Williams has been great,” asserted Franzoni.

“You lose a guy like Paris, it is a tough thing. He has stepped in and has done a great job.”

Williams, for his part, was pleased with how his team regained momentum in the second half, closing the game with a 19-3 run.

“We just said that we wanted to up our energy back to where we started it,” said Williams.

“I think some of the early foul calls made us a little more tentative. We said no one is in foul trouble any more, we have some guys with two fouls. We are going to move forward with our energy. We started off well but they came back again.”

Williams credits the energy provided by Franzoni as a spark in PDS’s run to the title game.

IN THE ZONE: Princeton Day School boys’ basketball player Paul Franzoni goes after the ball in recent action. Last Sunday, junior guard Franzoni provided hustle and six points to help top-seeded PDS defeat fourth-seeded Wardlaw-Hartridge 63-44 in the state Prep B semifinals. The Panthers, now 14-7, will host third-seeded MorristownBeard in the championship game on February 17. In addition, PDS will be playing in the Mercer County Tournament, where it is seeded fifth and will host No. 12 Hamilton in a first round contest on February 18.

“The things that Paul does don’t always show up in the stat sheet,” said Williams.

“You will look in the book and it will say zero points or whatever but the energy that he brings, the talk, and the confidence that he brings really exudes through the team. He was elected captain of this team for a reason and it wasn’t because he was going to score 20 points a game. He relishes doing the dirty work and we need guys who want to do that.”

PDS has gotten what it needed from junior transfer John McArthur as he contributed 21 points and 15 rebounds in the win over Wardlaw.

“John does a lot for us, he has been asked to play a number of different roles and he has been great,” said Williams.

“His natural position is on a wing but we have asked him to play some inside and a little outside but more inside just because we don’t have a whole lot of height.

We really appreciate what he has done for us. He personally controlled the boards in the first quarter. I think he had seven or eight rebounds in the first quarter alone.”

Williams appreciates the work his team put in collectively as it has earned the chance to play for a prep title.

“I know we haven’t made a Prep B final since Davon (former PDS superstar and current University of Miami standout Davon Reed) was a senior in 2013,” said Williams.

“It really means a lot to be able to come back and do that. These guys really worked hard in the offseason. The guys that were returning, the new guys that came in have really bought into what we have been asking them to do. That has been the key, they have been really receptive to the things we have been asking them to do. I think they have really improved incrementally throughout the whole season.”

In Williams’ v iew, h is team’s late surge, which has seen it win nine of its last 11 games, has been the product of increased defensive intensity.

“We have a number of really good individual offensive players but I thought that the defense was lagging behind,” said Williams, whose team will also be starting play in the Mercer County Tournament this week where it is seeded fifth and will host No. 12 Hamilton in a first round contest on February 18.

“I think once the defense star ted to click and the whole team concept of the defense started to click then we really started to roll. As you can see, we create a number of offensive opportunities off of our defense.

It really helps if you can get some easy baskets now and again, especially at pivotal moments.”

Franzoni, for his part, is primed to help PDS keep rolling to a Prep B crown.

“We are just going to come out here and play our game,” said Franzoni.

“We have just got to battle, play hard, and play tough with a chip on our shoulder and we will be fine. I am looking forward to it.”

PDS Girls’ Hoops Makes Prep B Semis As Robinson Stars at Both Ends of Court It started on Super Bowl Sunday and wasn’t concluded until last Thursday but the wait proved worthwhile for the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team.

PDS traveled across Great Road on February 7 to play at Stuart Country Day School in the state Prep B quarterfinals and found itself trailing 29-19 at halftime when a leaky roof caused the game to be moved to an adjacent rubber court for the second half.

Thriving on the new surface, the Panthers bounced back and forged ahead 4440 but the game was suspended with 2:21 left in the fourth quarter when another leak hit the second court.

The teams reconvened last Thursday afternoon and PDS sophomore guard Ryan Robinson acknowledged that it was a scenario unlike any she had ever experienced in basketball.

“It was crazy,” said Robinson. “We had the momentum in the first game and stopping it when we were getting ahead in the fourth quarter, there was nothing like it, to be honest.”

Reflecting on the second half rally, Robinson said PDS seized momentum by stepping up its intensity.

“It was basically don’t let up and come back harder than they were,” said Robinson.

“They had beaten us two times before, what we had to do to get the win was play our best. We knew that they weren’t used to playing on that court so it was to our advantage; it was an even playing field.”

PDS kept playing well when play resumed four days later, pulling away to a 53-45 win and a spot in the Prep B semis.

“We were up four and we had to keep playing our game and don’t let up,” said Robinson, who scored a team-high 12 points in the win.

With PDS having struggled over the last few seasons, getting to the Prep semis was a major step forward.

“It means a lot, we haven’t done as well in the years before,” said Robinson. “It is great to get this far.”

Benefitting from having a season of high school ball

under her belt, Robinson has come far as a sophomore.

“I am definitely more confident, having played varsity as a freshman,” said Robinson.

“It was a little shaky at first getting used to it. But coming into a new season it was a fresh start and with a better relationship with the girls, it was a lot easier. I feel I am one of the leaders on the court. I am someone who helps keep everyone in the game.”

PDS head coach Kamau Bailey never doubted that his players could pull out the game against Stuart.

“We always believed that even though we had lost the two games prior that we could beat this team,” said Bailey.

Coming into the continuation of the game on Thursday, Bailey knew that his team had to stay aggressive to beat the Tartans.

“We designed a play to get an early bucket,” said Bailey. “We didn’t want to hold it out because we knew that they had the arrow so if we had it they could tie it up with a possession, We wanted to go for a bucket early and it worked out. We got a bucket so we were up 46-40 and then we just had to play great defense from there.”

Bailey credited Robinson with spearheading the defensive effort. “Ryan is good on defense and we wanted her to lock up Jalynn Spaulding, who is a great player in her own right,” said Bailey.

“We wanted to force her right and play really tough defense against her and we were able to do that.”

While PDS fell 74-49 to Pennington in the Prep B semis last Sunday in dropping to 12-12, Bailey is proud of what his team has accomplished this winter.

“We have gotten a lot better as a team,” said Bailey, whose squad starts play in the Mercer County Tournament this week where the 12th-seeded Panthers will play at fifth-seeded Allentown in an opening round contest on February 18.

“I knew this year we would raise some eyebrows and turn some heads just based on what I saw in the preseason.”

ON TRACK: Princeton Day School girls’ basketball player Ryan Robinson brings the ball up the court in a game last week.

Sophomore guard Robinson scored 12 points to help sixth-seeded PDS top No. 3 Stuart Country Day 53-45 in the state Prep B quarterfinals last week. The Panthers saw their run in the Prep B tourney come to an end when they fell 74-49 to second-seeded Pennington in the semis last Sunday. PDS, now 12-12, will start play in the Mercer County Tournament this week where the 12th-seeded Panthers will play at fifth-seeded Allentown in an opening round contest on February 18.

In Robinson’s view, better togetherness among the players has been a key factor in PDS’ progress.

“We have got a couple of new players and having not lost any players really helped,” said Robinson. “I think our team chemistry is the biggest improvement.”

CRAPE MYRTLE IN NORTHERN GARDENS with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

Below is an article published in the October 1937 edition of Horticultural magazine; before I was born and when my father could barely read. “ NO WELL-INFORMED gardener who has admired the beauty of the Crape Myrtle in southern gardens would attempt to raise it in the north. Fortunately, however, many gardeners, who have a less wide acquaintance, have consistently made the effort with the result that we now have some very interesting information about Lagerstroemia indica. The tree-like top portions are as tender as their native habitat would indicate, but their roots will withstand very severe Winters if given a heavy leaf mulch.

And, unlike many shrubs which dieback each winter to make new growth in the spring, their annual growth is neat in shape and well formed, rather than leggy, with long, whiplash canes.

The plants bloom prolifically in very late summer, the enormous rose-pink trusses rather resembling phlox from a distance. Just before cold weather sets in, a wire circle should be placed around each plant and filled with leaves. The following spring when this is removed, cut the plants back to the ground, and they will send up new tops to grow and bloom again. It is a far cry, of course, from the magnificent Crape Myrtle of the southern states to this dainty, shrubby perennial which it becomes in the north. That, however, makes it a nonetheless valuable addition to our gardens, nor detracts in the least from its loveliness.” – Ruth Layton Crape Myrtle in Northern Gardens has come a long way since 1937. There are now dozens of handsome and very beautiful specimen shrubs and ornamental trees, many of these cultivars having been produced at the US National Arboretum. Flower colors range from white, pink, orchid to dark red. Our gardens today can be much richer due to these advances.

Mary S. Cross Mary S. Cross, 79, died peacefully at home on Friday, February 5, 2016. Born in Louisville, Ky., she had been a resident of Princeton since 1975. For Mary, Princeton was a place full of friends whom she loved dearly. She thrived on life at Princeton University and regularly audited classes there. Mary spent summers in Nantucket, and it was there that she met her late husband, Theodore L. Cross, in 1973. Mary attended Sweet Briar College in Virginia, but on learning that Hollins College intended to start a year abroad program, she immediately transferred and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris for a year. This first adventure abroad instilled in Mary a deep appreciation of the world beyond the familiar and sparked her insatiable lifelong desire to travel and explore foreign cultures.

Before her death, she had been hoping to join her three daughters for a trip to Cuba, and was planning a trip to her beloved Istanbul.

Mary was a photographer with a keen artistic eye.

friends; and she was, in fact, preparing for a small dinner party when she died. Mary will be remembered for her tenacious spirit, extreme candor, unflagging energy, and love of interesting people, especially those with a wry sense of humor (whom she described as “droll.”)

In addition to her 20 years with AUC, Mary was a member of the Boards of Directors of Network 20/20, the Princeton Arts Council, the American School of Tangier, and the Near East Foundation. Mary sat on the advisory council of the Department of Comparative Literature at Princeton University.

Daughter of the late William A. and Dorothy (Smith) Stoll, she is sur vived by three daughters and their spous es : St uar t War ner a nd Dav id Pa lt iel, A n n Warner Anderson and Ken Anderson, Polly Warner and Christopher Crawford, and eight grandchildren: Daniel, Benjamin, Madeline, Claire, Deirdre, Theodore, Eliza, and Alexandra.

Those wishing to make a charitable contribution in Mary’s memory are asked to donate to HomeFront (www.homefrontnj.org), an organization dedicating to helping the homeless in Southern New Jersey, the Trenton Soup Kitchen (www. trentonsoupkitchen.org), Doctors Without Borders, or Planned Parenthood.

Obituaries

she was a trustee of the American University of Cairo (AUC) for 20 years. She authored acclaimed photojournalistic articles and books including Behind the Great Wall (1979), Egypt (1991), Morocco: Sahara to the Sea (1995), Vietnam: Spirits of the Earth (2001), and Sacred Spaces: Turkish Mosques & Tombs (2013).

Her eye for aesthetics included a passion for flowers.

Her gardens were legendary and her house was always enlivened by magnificent arrangements of amaryllis, peonies, and tulips.

Mary had many loves: In later life she developed a passion for baseball, becoming a devoted Yankees fan, obsessed with Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte.

She was an avid reader of non-fiction (history and politics), Nabokov, and the New Yorker. She also loved spy novels and movies. Mary was hooked on political news, especially Hardball with Chris Matthews. She described herself as a “Yellow Dog Democrat” (one who would rather vote for a yellow dog than a Republican). She adored lectures and discussions about politics and foreign affairs, and she regularly sat in on meetings at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, where she was a member.

She loved the plays of Athol Fugard and was an avid patron of McCarter Theater.

Mar y did not hesitate to share her opinions on any topic from U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East to how many centimeters a painting needed to be lowered. But what Mary loved most was surrounding herself with her

STOCKTON REAL ESTATE… A Princeton Tradition

SHOWING YOUR HOUSE

Experience ✦ Honesty ✦ Integrity 32 Chambers Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (800) 763-1416 ✦ (609) 924-1416

Ideally real estate agents like the properties we sell to look spotless. However, even the most impeccable housekeepers find it difficult to keep the house in prime showing condition during the entire time the home is on the market.

Keeping beds perpetually made, dishes washed, bathrooms spotless and closets neatly organized is a lot of work. Is it worth it? Yes – if you want your house to sell in a reasonable amount of time and for the best price.

Buyers often see normal clutter, and what registers is "this place hasn't been maintained." They see bathtub rings and think "plumber's bills." They see lint under the refrigerator and grease on the electric range and imagine having to replace all of the appliances. When people make their final selection, they may be going on emotion and adrenaline rather than imagination. You can help your agent by minimizing the amount of imagination the buyer will need to fall in love with your home.
